Commissioner Al Dyer, who is the liaison to the Department of Public Works, advised motorists to plan ahead for alternate routes and allow extra travel time. "Motorists should plan ahead to take alternate routes and give themselves plenty of time to get to their destinations," he stated. He also urged caution in construction zones: "Also, remember that when you’re traveling through a construction area, please slow down and stay alert for crew members and debris."
